About this project
Description
Community-level organizations in Kazakhstan often lack essential adaptive management capabilities such as technical know-how, planning skills, experimentation capacities and organizational abilities, and may resort to unsustainable land and biodiversity resource-use practices that can threaten desert and steppe ecosystems. This phase of the SGP will focus on desert and steppe landscapes by supporting community organizations to develop and implement adaptive management projects that build social, economic, and ecological resilience based on, and reinforced, by global environmental and local sustainable development benefits. Community organizations' activities that promote climate change adaptation and mitigation, sustainable land management, including agro-ecosystem management and integrated water resources management, and biodiversity conservation, will be supported and synergized to achieve results at the landscape level.
Objectives
To build the socio-ecological resilience of steppe and desert landscapes of Kazakhstan by securing global environmental benefits from community-based management of biodiversity, ecosystem function, and land, water, and biomass resources.
